gtk_plug_* and gtk_socket_* family for non X11 builds

[Raul Dias <chaos swi com br>]

I am almost done building Gtk2 for linux-framebuffer.

I found a problem regarding the gtk_plug and gtk_socket families.
AFAIK,  gtk_plug and gtk_socket are X11 specific and does not work in
the FB (as it is a single process interface) or even on Win32.

I don't know where the problem is (gtk2-perl) or gtk+ 2.x.
However other bindings deal with thisby either checking it in configure
(ruby) or by creating a fake stub (python).

Here is the python solution:

As gtk2-perl almost have FB support out of the box this is what is missing to make it work.

BTW, only gtk+ 2.4.x works on FB, 2.6.x is/seems to be broken.

As I am not familiar with gtk2-perl api "finder/generator", any tips where can I start patching it?
